BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Sheriff’s Office has been awarded various firearms (approximately 412 individual weapons) through the courts of Gaston County, State of North Carolina, as well as agency weapons. These firearms do not meet the firearms specifications of the Sheriff’s Office. Training, qualification, and repairs are greatly facilitated by the assignment of uniform firearms. To declare the firearms surplus property would allow the office to trade for equipment that meets office specifications (approximate trade value $26,979). Equipment could be obtained at a nominal cost ($7,111) to the County to purchase 80 shotguns. Approval of this Board Action authorizes the Sheriff’s Office to surplus, trade, and purchase firearms.
